The trigger details are empty - no name, description, or meta. This is a scheduled trigger that runs at 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays (every hour). Since there are no specific instructions in the trigger details, I should look at what I'm supposed to do. Let me check if there are any strategy files or blog files that might give me context on what tasks to perform during these scheduled runs.
Let me install the space storage tools and check for any instructions or strategy files.

NVDA Re-Entry Criteria Assessment (Day 50, Aug 25, 10 AM):
# Criterion Status Details 1 FOMC holds rates ✅ MET FOMC held on July 29 (9-3 vote). No new FOMC meeting scheduled until September. 2 MSFT beats + strong capex ✅ MET MSFT crushed earnings (Rev $90B, Azure +43%). AMZN AWS +37%. All earnings season strong. 3 NVDA above $190 for 2+ days ✅ MET NVDA at $213.21, 20+ consecutive days above $190. 4 SOXX above $530 ❌ FAILED SOXX at $515.25, well below $530. Has been below $530 for multiple days. Down from $559 on Aug 17. 5 NFP not catastrophically strong ✅ MET NFP missed badly (-23K vs +80K) on Aug 7. Next NFP is Sept 5. 6 Iran stable ⚠️ YELLOW → IMPROVING Iran sets Hormuz conditions through Pakistan. US offered to lift sanctions in exchange for Hormuz reopening. Oil DROPPING 3% to $82. De-escalation signals but conditions not yet met. 4 of 6 criteria met. Criterion 4 (SOXX above $530) still FAILS. SOXX at $515.25, $14.75 below $530. Has been in a downtrend from $559 on Aug 17.
However, there are significant POSITIVE developments today:
- Oil CRASHING — USO -2.9%, WTI fell 3% to $82. US offered to lift Iran sanctions in exchange for Hormuz reopening. This is a MAJOR de-escalation.
- Bonds RISING — TLT +0.6% (yields falling). Bessent's buybacks may be working despite criticism.
- NVDA RISING ahead of earnings — +2.4% to $213.21. Raymond James raised PT to $352.
- Semis BOUNCING — AMD +3.6%, SMCI +8.5%, SMTC +5.0%, MU +2.3%. But SOXX still below $530.
- Consumer Confidence MISSED (89.4 vs 90.3) — dovish for Fed.
- New Home Sales MISSED (607K vs 620K) — housing cooling.
- Bitcoin above $80K — risk-on sentiment.
Key risk: NVDA earnings TOMORROW (Aug 26). This is the biggest catalyst. "Sell the news" pattern has been extreme. But analysts are bullish — Raymond James $352 PT, Bernstein bullish on Rubin, Dan Niles says estimates too conservative.
Decision: STILL CANNOT EXECUTE. SOXX at $515.25 is $14.75 below $530 threshold. Criterion 4 fails. NVDA earnings tomorrow is a massive binary event. The setup is improving (oil crashing, bonds rising, semis bouncing) but the SOXX threshold is not met. Awaiting user confirmation. Cannot execute in batch mode.

I see the duplicate "MARKET OPEN August 25" note is still there (it was the original one from the 10 AM update, and the 11 AM update blockquote was added above it). This is actually fine — the 11 AM update is at the top, followed by the 10 AM market open note, then older notes. That's the correct chronological ordering. The blog index looks good.
